In this endeavour of more than a decade, she seeks: how does one write others' memories meaningfully, ethically, and impactfully? How does one write one's own when they are linked, and at times painfully, to the lives of others?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMemory is also collective, she believes, and a commitment to fearless witnessing and knowing whether it is yours to write or not is essential. Some of the poetry engages with scholarship on trauma and memory. Away from this, other works write on joy, childhood—its pure and darker moments—intimacy, and love; also on the supernatural, an abiding passion of the writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ethese memories require\u003c\/i\u003e takes the reader across poetic thresholds into the connected spaces of the familial, philosophical, and corporeal. Within this volume, poetry is a deftly crafted alchemy that reminds us of presences that return to skin and that shape our understanding of self. We are reminded of worlds that we know but may find too difficult to face. These poems resound in their wavelike power to traverse internal and external planes of truth. Throughout, there is a commitment to love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Le Plastrier explores the force of language to shut down and contain, her poetry also demonstrates its capacity to find new rhythms and compounds of knowing. In its ongoing search and sense of action is an acknowledgement of how we are tied to others. In its careful accrual over time, this compelling collection demonstrates Le Plastrier's generative and exciting lyricism in full light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnn Vickery\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47428319707372,"sku":"9781923099661","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781923099661.jpg?v=1774477650"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/jacinta-leplastrier.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
